Paramount Pictures CEO Jim Gianopulos To Step Down, Studio To Drop Big-Budget Movies

Posted on September 11, 2021 at 12:14 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Paramount Pictures CEO Jim Gianopulos is set to step down from his position.

Following the underwhelming box-office yield of Transformers: The Last Knight and China’s clampdown on foreign investments, HuaHua Media left its partnership with Paramount Pictures at the end of 2017. HuaHua Media was supposed to fund 25% of the next two Transformers movies and 25% of all Paramount movies until 2020.

2017 was not a kind year for Paramount. That year, the movie production giant saw a loss of $445 million; where $100 million loss was from Transformers: The Last Knight alone.

Enter Jim Gianopulos.

Mr. Gianopulos took decisive action to turn things around for Paramount and it worked. At the end of 2017, Paramount Pictures entered a new agreement with Hasbro, where the toy giant would chip in more money to their movies but at greater creative control.

Such steps ensured the financial safety of Paramount and the company went on to produce critically acclaimed movies such as A Quiet Place and Bumblebee under the new leadership of Jim Gianopulos.

All things must come to an end and so does the tenure of Mr. Jim Gianopulos. We wish him the very best for his future work and we also wish his successor Brian Robbins, a wonderful stay with many Hasbro movies to follow.

On a closing note, Paramount has expressed their interest to drop big-budget movies in favor of smaller productions that will directly go on their streaming service Paramount+.

“What this is all setting up, according to insiders, is Paramount retreating from big theatrical productions to focus on titles – remakes, branded content, cheaper fare – that will service its streamer, Paramount+.” -Borys Kit, Journalist

There is a likelihood that this move may affect the pending renewal of the aforementioned agreement with Hasbro at the end of the year 2022.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Movie Concept Art By Constantine Sekeris

Posted on July 29, 2021 at 1:26 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Artist Constantine Sekeris has uploaded several concept art images done for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

Included in this first look:

  • Snake Eyes
  • Storm Shadow
  • Scarlett
  • Baroness

“Snake Eyes Movie designs I worked on with the talented Costume Designer Louise Mingenbach. We worked on the film and the toys simultaneously. Storm shadow ended up getting pulled back to his original suit, but Hasbro decided to make the toy version haha. Shout out to Constantine Sekeris and Luca Nemolato for doing a phenomenal job on Snake Eyes and Scarlet!”

With these concept art reveals, it is clear where the Core Ninja toy of Storm Shadow originated from.

However, concept art for Baroness is extremely close to the final design.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura Talks About The Future Of The G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise

Posted on July 27, 2021 at 2:41 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Polygon sat down with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to talk a bit about the past and the future of the G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise.

Q: How long have you been talking about doing the Snake Eyes movie? I’m sure ideas have changed over the years.

Whenever we brought it up, the thing that kept coming up was the origin story of Snake and Storm because it was so interesting and chock full of emotion. Brotherhood, betrayal, all the things that make really great drama — it has that in its story. It’s a very Cain and Abel thing. We talked about many things, but it always came back to that pretty quickly because it was so rich and so elemental.

Q: What does a G.I. Joe movie need to have to be a G.I. Joe movie? The original Joe movies were very soldier-centric, but you get away from that here.

I don’t think of this as a Joe movie. I really do think of as a Snake movie. The reason we chose Snake Eyes was because we were able to make such a specific, tonal reference, whether it’s a samurai movie or a Kung Fu movie, and so I think of it more in those terms, this particular movie. It is really about a journey into a mystical land. That really appealed to me. Many years ago, I did the movie The Last Samurai when I was at Warner Brothers; the exploration of the Japanese culture, I find kind of fascinating to begin with. It’s such a different culture, to state the obvious. But there’s so much to be found there that makes you reflect on your own culture. So I think that’s the benefit of having been driven there by a Cain and Abel story.

Q: Where do you hope the Joe franchise goes from here? Do you hope to follow Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow? Is it possible we’ll see other flavors of Joe movies?

It’s not preordained. I think there’s different ways we can go. One way, for sure, and we’re having discussions about it, is how do you keep sort of the spine of this relationship that we’ve developed? This antagonistic relationship? Is there a way to fuse that into a larger Joe movie so that maybe it’s one storyline? Maybe it’s the main storyline. So it’s not clear yet what we’re going to decide on doing. The hard part right now, honestly, is we’re not sure what success means right now, given the Delta variant and the theater problems.

You can check out the full interview at Polygon.
